Segment Analysis
By Modality
In 2023, the Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) segment acquired a 42% revenue share of the market because of its application in cardiology, oncology, and neurology. SPECT is a cost-effective modality with high-resolution functional imaging capabilities and is well-suited for myocardial perfusion, bone, and brain imaging. Recent improvements, like hybrid SPECT/CT systems, have also increased diagnostic accuracy, further driving uptake. Moreover, the availability of radiopharmaceuticals and the increasing incidence of cardiovascular diseases will boost the segment growth. High Explorer, Lowe, and Weston are focusing on the growth of portable SPECT systems, which will provide enhanced access in remote healthcare settings. The integration of AI for image analysis is also expected to propel market expansion in the coming years.
By Application
The oncology application segment held the largest share, 32%, by application segment, of the market in 2023 due to the increasing prevalence of cancer worldwide. Molecular imaging modalities such as PET-CT and SPECT are of utmost importance in the early staging of tumors and in monitoring disease treatment response. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there were 20 million new cases of cancer in 2023, highlighting the necessity for accurate diagnostic technologies. Imaging efficacy has also improved substantially with the development of targeted radiotracers for prostate, breast, and lung cancers. Growing adoption of theranostics that encompasses diagnostics and therapy is further driving segment growth. Government measures for enhancing cancer screening programs and rising research funding for developing innovative imaging biomarkers are expected to maintain the dominance of this segment.
By End-Use
In 2023, hospitals held the highest share of 48% owing to high patient inflow and advanced imaging facilities. The integration of AI-powered imaging systems in hospitals has streamlined workflow and improved diagnostic precision. In addition, rising partnerships among hospitals and diagnostic centers for early detection of the disease have only contributed to this segment’s dominance. The growing volume of diagnostic imaging procedures along with the expansion of hospital infrastructure in developing countries is driving growth. Also, hybrid imaging systems (e.g., PET-MRI) in tertiary care hospitals are facilitating diagnosis. Government investments in healthcare infrastructure and the growing demand for personalized medicine are expected to bolster hospital-based molecular imaging in the forecast period.

Regional Analysis
In 2023, North America accounted for the largest market share 43%, due to high healthcare expenditure, strong government involvement, and the presence of key market players such as GE Healthcare and Siemens Healthineers. A significant share of global revenue belonged to the U.S. in the backdrop of growing FDA approvals for both novel imaging agents and systems. The NIH’s USD 1.8 billion initiative in 2024 for neurological disorder research further underscores regional dominance. Europe came close behind, with Germany and the UK leading the pack as a result of more favorable reimbursement policies and rising cancer prevalence. Horizon Europe, the European Commission funding program for molecular imaging projects, is particularly focused on oncology and neurodegenerative diseases.
The Asia-Pacific region is estimated to be the fastest-growing market due to the development of healthcare infrastructure and more investments in diagnostic technologies at a high rate in countries such as India, Japan, and China. China’s “Healthy China 2030” initiative and India’s expanding private healthcare sector are key growth catalysts. Japan’s high cancer incidence and aging population are also increasing demand.
Recent Developments
- In 2023, the FDA approved Siemens Healthineers’ new PET-CT scanner, enhancing imaging resolution for early cancer detection.
- GE Healthcare launched a next-generation SPECT/CT system in late 2023, improving diagnostic efficiency in cardiology and oncology.
